Hi there!
I'm actually MD spouse, but this experience has bothered me, so I thought I would share. My husband has started his 2nd year in Family Medicine and the new Interns arrived, well, all but one! So, instead of 8 Interns, there are only 7. My husband is on his Ob/Peds service rotation this month and has to pick up the slack for the Intern resident that was unable to make it here yet. So, even though evenings are wonderful because my husband hardly has call like he did last year, he winds up staying longer hours to make sure all is order with the extra patient load and responsibility. I know there are no easy solutions for this unpredictable situation, but I just wish my husband could have enjoyed starting his 2nd year a little easier than this. I don't know if any of you can relate to this, but any response will be appreciated, even if it's just to say you read it! ha,ha!! I just hate seeing him unhappy about his situation, even though we won't talk about it negatively. Next rotation will be a better month though...
Take care,
Christy
